Description
July 7, 2026
Was moving up to Oak St but saw that an Amtrak train was both coming and departing the station and quickly set up at this crossing from this angle here. I wasn't planning on filming this crossing which is why the sudden setup at the beginning and from this angle as later after filming, I noticed the gate lights here were replaced since I last filmed this crossing so I didn't film from the appropriate comparison angle after a change due to suddenly filming this crossing when I originally wasn't going to.
